Renjana Song
Poetry

The leaves of the day slowly changed. Open a new blank page that will soon be filled with life inks.

Like this evening, Agam was sitting pensively staring at the millions of stars scattered in the sky while occasionally sipping black coffee served on a small table nearby.

''Huh...'' He exhaled his breath slowly.

He thought about everything that had happened in recent times. Trying to dig up the truth that is still a mystery. His memory suddenly turned to Frisca, his childhood friend. Agam's childhood was often spent playing with Frisca. Little Frisca who always accompanied him when papa Hermawan was working or had to overtime in the office. Since the baby, Agam no longer has a mother. His mother had to leave him for eternity two weeks after he was present in the world. So, often Frisca, who was his neighbor and his nanny who accompanied Agam when Mr. Hermawan was at work. And now, I don't know where he is. Not because I miss it, but there is another reason behind it.

He just wants to find out. I don't know what reason Frisca didn't want to see him five years ago. And instead present someone else to take his place to meet him.

''Where exactly did Frisca go?''

''When I only wanted to meet him because I wanted to know his condition at that time.'' murmured Agam.

...----------------...

The atmosphere of Yuda's cafe is getting more crowded what else if Sunday night arrives. People from the younger kawula class who dominate the cafe, although not infrequently many couples who are not young anymore are also present and enjoy the atmosphere of the cafe.

And like the usual nights, it was time for Ranum to go on stage to show his ability in singing.

''Before we continue, anyone wants to request a song?'' tanya Ranum from the top of the podium.

''Yes!!'' exclaim those people.

''Poetry from Jikustik!'' one of the cafe visitors.

Ranum briefly discussed with his escort band.

''Alright, Poems from Jikustik are special to all of you who are already here.''

''We sing together, yes!''

It is I whom you have once strengthened

I'm the one you ever woke up to

I'm the one you ever gave a taste to

When I wake up until I fall asleep

That long I will always remember you

As soon as it arrived at the refrain section of the song, it coincided with Agam walking into the cafe. He immediately rushed as soon as he heard that melodious voice he had recognized.

When will I write for you

My beautiful writings that once colored the world

My best poem is just for you

Maybe you'll come back with me to write again

We wade along with my most beautiful poem just for you...

''Ranum, forgive me.'' said Agam in his heart.

After that, Agam immediately searched for the whereabouts of his son.

''Hi papa's son!'' exclaim Agam once found Elzein.

''Father!'' elzein replied happily.

As soon as Agam arrived, Yuda who was accompanying Elzein resigned.

''Here alone, I won't be long.'' said Agam as soon as he saw Judah leave his seat.

''I have a little business, you enjoy your time. Excuse me to bekalang first.'' said Yuda.

''Hm.''

''Papa Yuda's drug.'' said Elzein.

''Wh-Where are you going? Why don't you ever look for El? Have you forgotten El?'' elzein said with his lips, pouting.

''Forgive me, son. Lately papa is a little busy, a lot of work that you have to finish immediately in the office.''

''Why is it that adults are always busy with their own world, and young children should not know!'' elzein Protest.

I was so excited to hear what Elzein was saying. He gently stroked the top of his son's head.

''El, someone wants papa to ask you.'' said Agam.

''Why would you ask what?''

''Of course! Why the hell do we have to stay apart. Parents and children should live together. El's friends at school also said that, every night when they would sleep, El said that they were always hugged and read the fairy tale with their mother and father.'' elzein said with sorrow.

''If El wants to be like your friends at school, El must help papa.'' said Agam.

''Help what papa?'' elzein didn't understand.

''This is approaching..''

Agam whispered something in his son's ear so that no one else would hear what he said.

''How? Do you agree?'' ask Agam.

''Agree!'' exclaim Elzein with spirit.

''Deal?'' said Agam by raising his hands to shake hands.

''Deal!'' elzein replied with a greeting.

''Remember, this is a secret between two men. No one else should know said Agam.

''Ready, boss!'' elzein said with respect.

Then they went back to spending time together. Agam accompanied Elzein as long as Ranum was not by his side.

''Remember, this is your phone number. You have to memorize it from now on said Agam.

''Yes papa, El understands and has memorized now.'' said Elzein.

''Smart kid!''

''Then papa must leave now.'' said Agam.

''Hm, be careful papa!'' elzein exclaimed as he waved his hand at Agam until Agam completely disappeared from his sight.

''El, who are you waving to?'' asked Ranum while looking at the situation around.

''No mama, El just said goodbye to om and aunt who was sitting next to El. They are very good, said Elzein.

''Oh. so.''

''By the way where is Papa Yuda?'' ask Ranum.

''Papa Yuda is in his office, mama. It seems papa Yuda is sad.'' said Elzein.

''Sad?'' ask Ranum.

''Hm. From earlier papa Yuda never smiled, even though El had tried to comfort him.

''El, can you find Papa Yuda? Mama will try to cheer him up too.''

''Hm, then El will play in the back garden only.'' said Elzein.

''Don't go anywhere, son. Can't be naughty.''

''OK, mom.''

''Dewi, titip El for a while yes.'' said Ranum to Dewi, one of the confidants of Judah.

''Ready, ma'am!'' reply Goddess.

Ranum immediately looked for the whereabouts of his best friend into his office located behind the cafe.

Tock.tok..

''Yuda?'' call Ranum.

The door of the room was open.

''It's done?'' ask Yuda as soon as he sees Ranum.

''Already, even ten songs.'' said Ranum with a chuckle while sitting his body on a sofa in the office Yuda.

''Thank you.'' Yuda replied with a smile on his face.

''Yuda?'' call Ranum.

''What's up?''

''Em... is something going on?'' ranum said frankly.

Judah breathed out his breath violently. Then, he walked towards Ranum and sat his body on a sofa in his study.
